OMG Roofing Products demonstrated its new RhinoBond Foil Tool, an induction welding system for securing single-ply commercial roofing membranes, at the BAU show in Munich.

OMG’s RhinoBond Foil Tool is specifically designed for use over foil face PIR insulation. The welding tool includes plate sensor technology to help users locate RhinoBond Plates installed under the roofing membrane, and assists with tool alignment for optimum bonding. A tone and a visual indicator light lets operators know when the weld cycle is complete.

The RhinoBond System is induction based technology used for installing commercial roofing systems. To date, more than 170 million m2 of commercial roofing membranes have been installed around the globe with RhinoBond, including more than 125 projects in Europe accounting for more than 3,200,000 m2.

The company was also looking for new distribution partners in targeted geographies throughout Europe during the show.

“As more roofing contractors have seen the labor savings and roof performance benefits that the RhinoBond System can offer, we have had tremendous growth,” says Lennard Spirig, Europe market manager. ”With updated technology and expanded distribution, we expect acceptance of the RhinoBond System across the region.”

RhinoBond is a method for installing thermoplastic and soon will be available for certain clean EPDM membrane. The system consists of a stand-up induction welding tool and magnetic cooling clamps. Contractors install roofing insulation using fasteners and specially coated plates designed specifically for the type of membrane being installed – PVC, TPO or Clean EPDM. Each plate is then bonded to the roof membrane installed over the top with the RhinoBond plate welding tool. The result is a roofing system that can provide enhanced wind performance with fewer fasteners, fewer membrane seams and zero penetrations of the new membrane.

SFS intec received an FM Approvals Class 4470 Certificate of Compliance from FM Approvals for its induction welding system, isoweld.
